March 29th is IDD Awareness Day! This day is dedicated to supporting, advocating for, and celebrating those with developmental disabilities, the families that surround them, and the staff that support them. In celebration, organizations from all over the state get to nominate a Direct Support Professional who embodies advocacy and is a shining light in their field. Meet our two nominees!

Trish Nickerson

Been at Horizons for almost 6 years

Trish is a go-getter. She’s caring, positive, kind, and most of all, genuine. She often goes out of her way to help create opportunities for individuals to get out and do something they are passionate about. This often happens outside of her normal shift hours, but her genuine love for spending time with the individuals she works with is unbound by her work schedule. Trish is a true asset and we are honored to have worked with her over the years.

Blake Beh

Been at Horizons for almost 10 years

Blake radiates positivity and her bubbly personality makes her approachable to her peers and individuals in services. She has an uncanny ability to motivate individuals and can build a bridge over the widest canyon to reach someone on the other side. Blake always has a smile on her face and has been an impressive force for change since she started.

Jerry Scott

Jerry has been at Horizons for 4 years and has been an impressive leader since day one! “Sometimes,” he says, “it doesn’t even feel like I’m at work. It just feels like I’m hanging out with great people” and this attitude is what makes him such a successful caregiver. Outside work, he loves doing anything involving music or spending time outside. He’s looking forward to anything and everything this year has to throw at him. His go-to quote about life is from John Lennon, Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.

“Jerry is selfless, fun, and always on the lookout for the betterment of those he works with. Jerry is willing to try new things and thinks outside of the box when problem solving, which usually works in his favor. Jerry is a great leader and is always willing to learn and to teach.“
